Manuela Fernandez Pinto

Manuela Fernández Pinto is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and the Center for Applied Ethics at Universidad de los Andes, Colombia. She received her PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Notre Dame in 2014, and then had a postdoc at the University of Helsinki. She came to Los Andes as an expert in research ethics with the aim of developing a course in research ethics and scientific integrity for doctoral students at the university. She has also been a member of the IRB since 2017. Bioethics in research has been at the core of her research interests as a philosopher of science. Currently, she is working on a new project on biases in science, with the aim of understanding the different types of biases that scientists can introduce in their research practices, including those methodological biases that seem to emerge more significantly in commercially-driven science.
